Why do heroes always have stupid names?
I mean, Wally Week was bad enough but,
Spaceman Muggins?! Anyway, it seems
that Muggins must recover a crashed space
ship and bring it back to the docks for
repairs, after mending the engine and other
vital bits of equipment. However, the engine
parts were dislodged in the crash and locked
in storage lockers, which can only be
opened with such obvious items as rabbits
and anchors. Yep, it's time to don your
illogical (Captain), thinking caps, 'cos it's
arcade-adventure time.
Muggins could have been quite a good game. The rooms are neatly drawn in 3D, there are lots of robots to massacre (you have to take your frustration out on something when you get stuck), and loads of tough problems. Unfortunately the whole game is let down by some atrocious graphics. They are so chunky that you can't tell what anything is, and have to use an object identifier. Hardened arcade-adventure fans might like Spaceman Muggins, but I found it had little appeal.
